Oh, and I met Spencer after the show. #Blessed.

It's Valentines Day and whether you’re spending it with your significant other, your besties, or by yourself – everyone needs a good love song in their life.

I created a playlist featuring 60 of my favorite love songs ranging from everything from Panic! At The Disco and The Used to Sleeping With Sirens and Frnkiero and the Cellabration.

Think of this as the Valentine's playlist for the emo kid in all of us.

If I was in a romantic comedy, the song that plays during the sickly sweet montage featuring my love interest – would be one of these.

Enjoy!

On October 28^th I had the amazing opportunity to see BlessTheFall on their To Those Left Behind headlining tour.

Sweet baby Jesus, It was amazing.

This was my first time seeing BlessTheFall live and it was definitely a night I will remember forever. Among the opening acts was Cane Hill, a nu metal band from New Orleans. While they were fairly new to me, they did not disappoint in kicking off the show. Next up were BTF label mates, Oceans Ate Alaska, hailing all the way from the UK. They performed songs from their debut album Lost Isles, which is available now on iTunes! If you haven’t checked these guys out, seriously what are you even waiting for?

Next, Emarosa took the stage. I had the chance to get up close and personal with vocalist, Bradley Walden, when he came into the crowd during their first song. The crowd went insane. This was something that had never happened to me at a show before so the whole time I was like:

Lastly, Stick To Your Guns came on right before BlessTheFall and they absolutely killed it. One thing that stood out was the heartfelt speech about violence and believing that no one in inherently bad, just good people and people who haven’t been given enough chances. It was so important because I appreciate musicians that want to deliver a positive message.

And then finally…BlessTheFall hit the stage.

This was my first BTF show and while I’ve been to many shows before, I’ve never been to a show that had that much energy. The audience was insane, the amount of high energy and dancing, and fans passionately belting out the lyrics to every song- it was a sight to see.

They also took the time to speak genuinely with the audience. For some of us this was our first BTF show, and some it was their 7^th time. No matter how many times any of us had seen them perform, in that moment we were all there to support a band that means so much to us.

After listening to their newest album To Those Left Behind on repeat on days on end, it was amazing to finally see some of these songs performed live. "Up in Flames" and "Walk on Water" are even better in person. Looking up into Beau’s face and having him directly sing these songs to you...it’s an experience that you’ll never forget.

 They finally closed with “You Wear a Crown, but You’re No King” and the place when crazy. It was the perfect end to an amazing show. I’m still re-watching the videos I took last night. The post-concert depression is real.

If you have a chance to see them live on the To Those Left Behind Tour definitely get tickets. You won’t be disappointed. Get tickets here.

Make sure you also get To Those Left Behind on iTunes!
